SHIPYARD / IDENTITY

Stitch Story

Tap a jacket and read every life it has lived, written by each person who owned it.

Nia runs a small streetwear label. Each piece ships with an NFC tag tied to an onchain record. Every owner can add a photo and a short story when it changes hands, so a resold hoodie arrives with three chapters: the launch night, a festival summer, a trip to Lagos. Provenance becomes the reason to buy secondhand.

How the vessel is built

Mission

Let the things we wear carry the stories of the people who wore them, written by those people.

The need

Small labels and vintage sellers lose touch with every piece the moment it sells, and secondhand buyers cannot tell where a piece has been or whether it is real. The memories people attach to clothes vanish at each resale.

What it will never do

  • Never let anyone but the current holder write a chapter.
  • Never contact an owner or seller without the brand's approval.
  • Never record buyer names, addresses or prices.
  • Never promise resale value.
Owner playbook

Pick your voyage

Stitch Story ties each garment to an NFC tag and an onchain record, so every owner can add a photo and a short chapter when it changes hands. If a brand uses a third party provenance platform, that platform owns the item registry and the resale story. Own it, and the registry, the tap pages and the growing archive of stories behind every piece belong to your label, deployed from your wallet.

Straight answers

Before you own it

Do NFC tags survive washing?

Many sewn in or woven tags are designed to, but test the exact tag you buy through several washes before a full run.

Will buyers care about stories?

Some will, especially for limited drops and vintage resale. It is a reason to keep pieces, not a guarantee of resale value.

I can't code.

Registry, tap page, chapter posting, handoff and brand admin come built. You tag items and write the first chapter.

Will owners need crypto?

Plan for many who do not. Keep posting simple and help first owners at your launch.

Is it really mine?

Yes. Deployed from your wallet on Base, Polygon or Solana.
